Dimitar Berbatov

Dimitar Berbatov has gone down in history as one of the most coolest strikers ever. He wasn't the most hardworking player, but his skill on the ball and the ability to find the back of the net regularly nullified the need for that perfectly.

Berbatov spent two seasons at Spurs, scoring 27 times in 70 appearances since joining. The performances were good enough to attract Manchester United's attention in 2008 and the Red Devils ended up roping him in on the deadline day of 2008's summer transfer window.

The Bulgarian soon became a vital part of a devastating forward line that comprised of Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo. In the 2010-11 campaign, Berbatov made up for Rooney's absence and the new Everton signing's lack of form by winning the Golden Boot and also played a role in United’s 19th Premier League title.

After falling out of favour at Old Trafford in 2012 though, Berbatov sealed a move to Premier League strugglers Fulham and later played for Monaco as well.
